Grey day ......

15th April 2016 (Friday)      09.00    Our weather is mixed up right enough;   yesterday we had a bonnie sunny day, today it’s overcast, but dry.    Having said that, if every second day was sunny, I wouldn’t complain..... half the year would be
Earlsferry
‘sunlit’.
‘Nae plan’ this morning apart from go for a walk, and tidy up some of the garden.   The bowling green ‘opens’ tomorrow.... at least I’ll be able to get down to deliver the bowl this year;    the only problem are my hands , which are ‘bothered’ with arthritis.    This is not ‘handy’ ... especially when bowling!  
22.00    Myra, Jim and I went to Harbour House for morning coffee.... this was after we’d been at the bowling green to play four ‘ends’ to see if we could actually deliver a bowl!.    I’m not sure how my hand will cope, but I did get the bowls ‘up’ the green, though not very accurately.    We’ll make our minds up tomorrow.    Ian and Joyce, joined Myra and Jim, in Harbour House  so I left them chatting.... and set orf walking, thinking that Jimmy would be ready for his morning cuppa at Ivy.    I met Jimmy coming from The
Elie this afternoon
Ferry (in his car):   so I jumped into the car, and we went back to Ivy for the aforementioned cuppa.
The weather turned wet after lunch;  upsetting my ‘plan’ to walk out to west Bay.    Instead I booked ‘Sooper Buggy’ in for ‘her’ MOT (Thursday), then ‘fired her up’ and went along to Leven to get some messages ... a good way to pass a wet afternoon.    Although he weather has been of the dull, and wet at times, kind, we have had a lovely evening, which suggests we might have nice weather, ‘bright, sunny and cool’ tomorrow.    The wind is from the north, hence the ‘cool’.
I’ve been checking the BGS (British Geological Survey) website to find out about UK
Sunset time at Earlsferry
earthquake activity.    There’s plenty of it (earthquake activity), though most of it is in the ‘weak’ category:  we had a 1.7 (weak) one in the Solway Firth area on Wednesday,....  which would pass unnoticed, by folks ‘stood staunin’ on the epicentre!
We have a Coffee Morning tomorrow in the Church Hall at 10.00 .... I must remember to phone Jimmy and remind him.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Quiet morning ....

 5th October 2023 (Thursday)     09.30.... The crock pot has been fired up with a batch o’ Scotch Broth, George’s bucket has been put out for tomorrow morning....I have had breakfast, and now on my third cuppa of the morning; hoping for a stress free day.   The past two days were not stress free. Yesterday began really well.... I got the car insurance sorted, and was   settling down to check FB.    I saw a photograph captioned ‘Seal on a floe .... or was it?’   Being inquisitive I ‘clicked’ on it;   and that   was it .... flashing warnings all over the computer screen.     I’d been hacked.   A small window appeared purporting to be from Microsoft Security so I clicked on that and got an 0800 number to phone;    which I did and was answered by an Indian.     That’s when I should have pulled the plug on the computer.    However, h e as very   plausible so I began to follow his instructions for a few minutes... then  began to get suspicious;   especially when he began to insist that I

Warm and damp ....

4th October 2023 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... there’s been light rain overnight and the forecast is ‘strong winds and rain’, but it’s not raining at the moment.... and it’s warm.   I think I’ll go for the paper (on the bike) before rain arrives.... the wind freshens.  Slight ‘flap on’. 09.30 .... Go out before the wind freshened?.... it was already F6 (at the Breakwater) when I was out.   Guess who didn’t go down to the harbour!   That said even at the Breakwater the wind was warm.   I didn’t stop at the Breakwater, in fact I couldn’t stop.... the wind blew me half way along South Street and I was up on The Terrace in ‘nae time’.     I managed to stop, at my usual place, and take a few photos before heading for the shelter of the High Street... and the ‘paper shop’.    The streets were quiet and I thought about going up to Chapel Green but decided give CG a miss today.....   and have drawing day. 22.45    My computer was  hacked this morning and I am going to use the wee laptop until Ia
